San Francisco’s Squalus (ex-Giant Squid) have announced the release of their debut full-length record. The forthcoming album, which was produced, mixed, mastered and engineered by Tim Green (Wolves in the Throne Room, Melvins, et al), will be titled The Great Fish and will be released on September 15 via Translation Loss Recordings. The nautically-themed release will be void of guitars and will instead rely on dual basses, keys, drums and vox to tell their seafaring tales. Bassist/vocalist Aaron John Gregory (previous Giant Squid frontman) said the following:

“The ocean will always win, whether it be by sinking our ships with storms, or by pulling us in to its food chain and swallowing us whole,…Masculine arrogance, ego, and spite always fails when faced with the sheer power of the sea. And yet, man doesn’t stop trying to conquer it or slay it; knowing damn well the end result will always be his own peril.”

The album’s artwork, track listing and stream of new track “The Orca” (courtesy of Decibel) can be found below.
